Manager's Guidance for COVID-19: Skills for Supportive Conversations

Description

Theme:

Leadership & Management.

Category:

People Management.

About this course:

As more colleagues prepare for a potential return to campus working, it's important that managers feel equipped to guide and support their staff through this process.

Managers will be responsible for dealing with the outcomes of COVID-19 self-assessment tools, as well as any follow-up risk assessments and reasonable adjustments.

All of which will require you to handle a range of scenarios in a supportive and constructive manner.

.

This session will predominately focus on the skills and behaviours required for having supportive conversations with staff about their working arrangements, which could include a return to campus or a continuation of home working.

You will also learn where you can access further guidance, as well as the teams that can offer support in the process if required, e.g., HR, Health & Safety, Occupational Health.

.

An HR Business Partner will be in attendance to answer your questions.
